Yikes.<br /><br />Square--<br /><br />It's nice to hear that from someone who actually saw him play; I am not a big college football guy and almost never watch Big 12. I wonder if he's actually injury-prone or just doesn't play with pain--he was apparently held out of minicamp this weekend with a hammy tweak (of course, as Schwartz said they're being cautious, almost to a fault, right now). Just on potential alone he's a steal as a seventh-rounder . . . if he ends up becoming the starting left tackle, that alone would make this draft a win.<br /><br />Peace<br />TyTyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228238666916939672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-23864601933002349482009-05-04T11:02:00.000-04:002009-05-04T11:02:00.000-04:00Eric--

We'll see what happens with each of the third-rounders; Follett and Murtha have great God-given talent and play crucial positions. Edge pass rushers and left tackles are two of the most premium spots on the roster, if either ever start a game for the Lions these picks were home runs.<br /><br />Peace<br />TyTyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07228238666916939672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-305208078685298652009-05-04T09:01:00.000-04:002009-05-04T09:01:00.000-04:00I've watched all of his games at Nebraska and I th...I've watched all of his games at Nebraska and I thought the Lions were lucky to get him so late in the draft. The value was definitely there so I think it was a wise choice. Murtha was constantly being shifted due to his injuries or injuries on the rest of the young Nebraska line. He showed flashes of potential but didn't dominate like his stats would indicate. He obviously had a heck of a combine and we'll see what happens with him. Nice write up to get other people aware of the talent/potential of some of these late rounders.Squarenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-80686665498332558992009-05-03T19:35:00.000-04:002009-05-03T19:35:00.000-04:00Ty - thanks for the write up on Murtha, I had no i...Ty - thanks for the write up on Murtha, I had no idea this guy was such a beast! <br /><br />Eric <br />(Sprawl125)Erichttp://www.restoretheroar.webs.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1046130621116527798.post-80912924524610025672009-05-02T09:10:00.000-04:002009-05-02T09:10:00.000-04:00Thanks, man!
